Be sure that you are not recording any video that cannot be interrupted before you change network settings. The Network menu contains the following menu options for controlling network settings on the DX4000:

•DHCP: Use this option if the DX4000 uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol to connect to remote agents over the Internet.

•DDNS: Use this option if your system uses a dynamic domain name service.

•WEB Server: Use this option if the users will connect to the DX4000 with the Web client to view live video.

•Network Speed: Use this option to limit the transmission rate used by your network. Options include 56, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4098, and 8192 Kbps. Lower network bandwidths slow the video transmission rate.
